EDD claim shows wrong return-to-work date - How to fix?

Ugh, I had the same problem last month. It's so frustrating when they get these details wrong. Have you tried calling the EDD to get it corrected?

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried updating the info through your online account? Sometimes you can make changes there without having to call.

This happened to me too! turns out it was because my employer reported the wrong date. You might wanna check with them first before dealing with the EDD hellscape 🤡

Here's what you need to do to fix this issue: 1. Document everything. Write down the correct return-to-work date and any communications you've had about it. 2. Contact your employer first. They may have reported the wrong date, and it's easier to fix it from their end. 3. If your employer confirms they reported the correct date, then you need to contact EDD. 4. Try the online portal first. Look for any option to update your claim information. 5. If online doesn't work, you'll have to call. Be persistent and try early in the morning. 6. When you get through, explain the situation clearly and ask them to update your record. 7. Request a confirmation in writing of the change. 8. Follow up in a week if you don't see the change reflected in your account. Remember, any discrepancy in your claim can potentially affect your benefits, so it's crucial to get this sorted ASAP. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing works and everyones confused 🎉

Quick question - how far off is the date they have? If it's only a few days, it might not be worth the hassle of trying to change it.

I went through this exact same issue about 6 months ago! The key thing is to act fast because the longer you wait, the more complicated it gets. I'd definitely start with what @Aisha Hussain suggested - check with your employer first. In my case, it turned out my HR department had submitted the wrong paperwork to EDD. They were able to send a corrected form directly to EDD which fixed everything within about 2 weeks. If that doesn't work, I actually had success using the "Contact EDD" form on their website rather than calling. It took longer (about 3-4 weeks for a response) but at least I didn't have to deal with the phone nightmare. Make sure to include your claim number and be very specific about what needs to be corrected. Good luck!
